The Gecko Company and the Gordon Company are two firms that have the same business risk but different dividend policies. Gecko pays no dividend, whereas Gordon has an expected dividend yield of 4 percent. Suppose the capital gains tax rate is zero, whereas the income tax rate is 30 percent. Gecko has an expected earnings growth rate of 19 percent annually, and its stock price is expected to grow at this same rate. The aftertax expected returns on the two stocks are equal (because they are in the same risk class). What is the pretax required return on Gordon's stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Pretax return %
Your assignment here is to value Walmart Inc.'s (WMT’s) stock. A bit oddly, WMT is not expected to pay a dividend at t = 1. WMT’s next dividend (i.e., the dividend at t = 2) is expected to be $3.00/share. Across years 3 and 4 and 5, dividends will grow by 8%/year. After that, dividends are projected to grow at a constant rate of 3% forever. Walmart has a debt-to-equity ratio (in market-value terms) of 1.0. The yield to maturity on WMT's bonds averages 4% and the company's tax rate is 30%. If the risk-free rate is 3.1%, the expected return on the market is 9.1%, and WMT's equity beta is 1.10, calculate a fair price at which the stock should sell for today, based on a discounted valuation of its projected dividends.

2. Suppose that the consensus forecast of security analysts of NoWork Inc. is that earnings next year will be E1 = $10.00 per share. The company tends to plow back 50% of its earnings and pay the rest as dividends. The CFO estimates that the company’s growth rate will be 8% from now on. (a) Suppose there is uncertainty about the stock’s dividend growth rate. With a probability1/3 the growth rate will be 10%, with a probability 2/3 it will be 7%. What are the respective market values under the two different growth rates? (b) What is the fair price of the stock given the probabilities above? (c) What is the expected growth rate for the stock? Given your calculations, which security is more valuable for an investor: the stock with an 8% growth rate for sure or the stock described in part (a) with an uncertain growth rate?
Metallica Bearings, Incorporated, is a young startup company. No dividends will be paid on the stock over the next 8 years because the firm needs to plow back its earnings to fuel growth.
